Vanderbilt MAcc Merit-Based Scholarships

All applicants are automatically considered for Vanderbilt MAcc merit-based scholarships. Selection criteria include academic and personal achievements, GPA, GMAT or GRE scores, letters of recommendation, essays and interview.

The MAcc merit-based scholarship is very competitive. It typically covers partial tuition costs.

Please remember that almost all financial aid is distributed in equal amounts per semester—half for the fall semester and half for the spring—so plan ahead to avoid running out of money.

Many of the state Societies of Certified Public Accountants offer scholarships for students. Be sure to check with your state society by searching for its website and looking under the student section of the website.
